”Who is she?” Angela inquired with an unkind tone as she observed the exotic woman with the s.e.x.u.a.l charm that was even making the wingless angel a bit jittery. For once, Anna and Mary felt intimidated by the woman Nik brought back home as the woman's green eyes, much deeper than her green dress, swept past the trio and she sat on the couch silently.
”So, it's like this,” Nik began reiterating everything that happened. Angela and the others didn't know of Nik's plan to target the Sorcerer Supreme of the realm for now what seemed like a library of moral books and stories. In fact, Nik felt the need to confirm this particular fact once again. Once he completed his entire evening, he looked towards Morgan.
”I did ask you to just follow me... but we don't have an extra room. It was the spur of the moment thing, really,” Nik sighed and looked around as Morgan silently sat akin a cold statue. The stare of the three women failed to pull any reaction from her while Asmodeus whispered in Nik's mind.
'Oi, Nik. She's trying a power move by not speaking at all and making you feel fl.u.s.tered.
'It's all dandy but why are you whispering?' Nik inquired as Asmodeus didn't reply anymore while Anna looked towards Nik with a worried expression, ”What does it mean— She will carve your heart?” Her question striking a chord with Mary and Angela as both the women looked at each other. Instantly, Angela gripped her sword while a black membrane covered Mary. Her physique bulked up slightly and white patches covered her head to mark her eyes with a long tongue and a ferocious set of teeth marking her face.
'Hot,' Pickle and Nik thought simultaneously while Anna's expression worsened.
”By carving my heart,” Nik smiled without caring about the tension in the room. If he didn't trust Mary, he wouldn't have prepared a symbiote for her and Angela could her own in front of many beings.
”Hehe, playing with Klyntars. Hmm,” Morgan's eyes glowed as she stared at the four of them, before her gaze fixed on Nik once again.
”You... broke their connection,” Morgan muttered with slight surprise seeping through her voice.
”Is she going to be like that forever?” Angela groaned in annoyance, ”Talking to herself as if we don't exist!”
”So you know something about that... hogging television the entire day...” Anna mumbled while Angela's head snapped towards the girl's direction, giving the poor girl a scare as she instantly leaped behind Nik and looked at Angela with a threatening expression.

Everybody could hear the window to Nik's bedroom opening as all the girls present stared at Nik with an incredulous expression.
”I forgot to give Ava her key,” Nik replied with a stoic expression as everyone grew silent until the door to Nik's bedroom slowly creaked open, revealing a slightly exhausted Ava still wearing her costume with her mask swept up. However, she took one quick glance into the living room, her expression froze and she slowly returned into the room, the door creaking shut while a thudding voice echoed from his room and Nik pursed his lips, ”And, she is gone again...”
”I'll chase her!” Anna spoke excitedly as she turned into her symbiote form too. Her body grew slightly buffer and her assets widened. With an excited grin that would send chills down the spine of any ordinary human, Anna shot into Nik's room and hurriedly escaped from the window.
Mary and Nik felt like stopping her but after a few moments, Nik just let it go and looked at the slightly confused Morgan while Mary's heart was still filled with worry.
”How... did you destroy the connection of these abominations with the hive? Your spirit sorcery?” Morgan looked towards Nik as Pickle emerged from the top of Nik's head, giving Angela a fright as she barely held her voice while the infuriated ball of goop hissed, ”You're the abomination!”
”Let's not call each others name... but yea, Pickle is no abomination,” Nik looked at Morgan while his thoughts differed, 'but it does sound like an apt pet name... maybe I should name that spider— Abomination... or simply Venom? It is a spider, after all.'
Nik recalled the radioactive spider that gave Cindy her abilities.
”When will I understand your methods?” Morgan inquired as she remained calm while sitting in Angela's seat. It was directly in front of the television, after all.
Although Morgan's very existence commanded certain charisma that Nik and Ray, too, possessed, he glanced towards Angela and Mary and stated with a sigh, ”Not so fast. First, I need a smidgen of proof that Strange only possesses a Library of moral books and nothing else.”
”I've been inside that library,” Morgan glanced around and replied, ”And, the strength of the Supreme Sorcerer of the universe comes from the support of the Vishanti, magical relics that boast great strength, and connections with other deities. Even on Earth, many panthea of the Gods try to curry favor with the present generation of Supreme.”
Her green eyes fell on Nik, ”In Supreme's, nay, any Sorcerer's eyes, you alongside that young boy Ray, are far more potent than any object. After all,” she smirked, ”We, as regular humans, are unable to store large quantities of energy and cultivate it.”
”Whatever,” Angela glared at Morgan and stepped forward, ”Scooch. This is my seat.”
”This is the middle of the seating arrangement,” Morgan replied with an impassive expression, ”From now on, this is my seat, Asgardian.”
”What?!” Angela's eyes widened as she raised Xiphos slightly and tilted it to position it for clean cleaving of Morgan's head.
”Nik...” Mary whispered as black tendrils began to move around her suit. Impressed at how Mary and Anna had gained control of their symbiote, he grinned, ”Yea?”
”I think we are in trouble,” She stated with even her 'mask' knotting in worry.
”If two godlike women are petty enough to fight for a simple seat,” Nik stated in a slightly raised voice, ”Then you're probably right, I worry that both of them are all bark and no bite...”
